Had 3 in the driveway when I pulled up, looks like they were eating acorns. No buck with them.

Optimism low. I’m likely a week or two late on the rut, very bright full moon, and the 4 wheeler wouldn’t start (again), so by the time I pushed it out of the barn and snaked out my SxS, I didn’t get into the stand until after the usual best time. Being so late, I just pulled right up to the box rather than adding a long hike to my lateness. We’ve talked often about whether that is no bueno, or if the ones crossing even notice.

Be safe fellas

Probably my last hunt of the year. Got my good luck charm with me today, my wife. Last time I brought her I killed a buck

Dropped a doe this am. Got her skinned and in the ice chest. I think that's it for me this year.

Boop’d a doe at 9:40 this morning. Cruising the bottom solo

I wanna go hunting, but I have no more freezer space.

Same. I am thinking about throwing all the fish sticks and tater tots out along with my wife's frozen meals to free up some space.

You made a much better shot than I did, I hit too far back and got some gut. Still happy to bring her (fat doe) down at 265 yards (by rangefinder). First kill with the copper bullets, and a five fingertip exit hole has me believing. Just got her quartered out and in the icechest. A pleasant surprise.
